Sinopsis

The Complete Works of Lewis Carroll (Illustrated Edition) presents a comprehensive collection of Carroll's literary masterpieces, including the beloved 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking-Glass.' Richly characterized by its playful use of language, whimsical narrative style, and profound philosophical undertones, this illustrated edition highlights Carroll's unique ability to engage both children and adults. The vibrant illustrations enhance the text, capturing the fantastical elements of Carroll's world and inviting readers to explore the absurdities and delights of his imagination, firmly situating his works within the realm of Victorian literature. Lewis Carroll, born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was not only a celebrated author but also a mathematician and logician. His deep understanding of language and logic heavily influenced his literary creations, enabling him to manipulate logic and meaning in exquisite ways. The interplay of his academic pursuits with his passion for storytelling reflects his fascination with the nonsensical and the absurd, as seen through the eyes of a child. His experiences with children, particularly his friendship with Alice Liddell, inspired much of his work and underscored his commitment to capturing the elusive nature of imagination. This illustrated collection is a must-read for literature enthusiasts, educators, and anyone seeking a glimpse into the whimsical mind of Carroll. The timeless themes and enchanting prose make it an exemplary text for exploring the rich landscape of 19th-century literature while providing a delightful experience for readers of all ages.

Carla's lunch box is filled with odd delights like the Olive, Pickle and Green Bean Sandwich, the Banana-Cottage-Cheese Delight, and the unforgettable Chopped Liver, Potato Chips, and Cucumber Combo. To Carla, they are delicious and creative lunches, but her teasing classmates are unconvinced and abandon her at the lunch table to eat her bizarre sandwiches alone. One day, however, tables turn when Buster—the worst tease of all—forgets his lunch on the day of the picnic and Carla thoughtfully offers him her extra sandwich. Her own spirited nature helps Carla teach her classmates that "unusual" can actually be good. Lively illustrations help showcase the book's messages of acceptance, tolerance, individuality, and creativity, and the funny plot and authentic dialogue are sure to make this tale a favorite among elementary school children.
